Takeda Harunobu made sarcastic remarks, but did not let Tianhai make any move.
Tianhai's mind has long been tightly wrapped in fear. Only by chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in front of the Buddha statue can he get a moment of peace.
Takeda Harunobu thought that he had forced Tenkai to participate in the tasting of Shiba Yiyin, which frightened the Taoist priest.
Only Tianhai herself knew that it was not the first time. When she was at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, she had done something she shouldn't have done to Shiba Yoshigan.
For some reason that day, Tianhai actually had evil thoughts and used force against Shiba Yiyin. She thought there was something wrong with the pot of wine, but she couldn't find any clues afterwards.
It was as if there was a black hand behind the scenes that was playing with her, but she couldn't find the perpetrator.
Out of fear, Tenkai fled Mount Hiei, the main gate of the Tendai Sect, and invited Ying to come to the remote mountain kingdom of Kai.
But who would have thought that Yoshiyoshi Shiba also came to Kanto. When Tianhai saw him in Yantian City, he was so frightened that he called out his name, and even got him captured and drank tea, and he himself participated in it.
Twice! Exactly twice! After feeling happy, Tianhai was so frightened that he lived in fear all day long. He could only come back to life in front of the Buddhist temple.
But today, Takeda Harunobu unexpectedly came to visit. I wonder what bad intentions this ambitious samurai family member had.
Tianhai was determined in her heart that death is inevitable for all people, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. After drinking twice the Sibo Yiyin, which was like a fairy tea, she was already strong enough, and she could at least die to atone for her sins.
With no worries, and naturally not afraid of Takeda Harunobu's ridicule, Tianhai continued to read with his head lowered, regardless of everything behind him.
A trace of anger flashed in Kosaka Masanobu's eyes. This nun doesn't know what is good or evil. Her food and drink expenses are all given by the Takeda family, but she dares to ignore the Takeda family governor's questions. She is simply looking for death.
Takeda Haruki's eyes stopped Takasaka Masanobu, who was about to draw his sword, and looked at the back of Amami's neck, which was as slender as a swan, and said coldly.
"Odaisuo is going to Luo to avenge the general. He sent a letter saying that he will pass through the territory of my Takeda family."
Tianhai's whole body was shaken, and his mind that was focused on the Buddha suddenly cracked open. He recited a Buddha's name and felt depressed. After worshiping the Buddha with a green lantern for more than a year, his power was broken with just one chant.
Takeda Harunobu twitched his eyes and sneered.
"What a Taoist Gao Ni, but the imperial office can't even hear a word? Isn't it so satisfying that you won't forget it?"
I heard that the Buddha has five precepts: do not kill, do not steal, do not use silver, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol.
I, Harunobu Takeda, am sincere to the Tiantai Sect, and I would like to ask the Master to explain to me, what is the Silver Ring of Immortality?"
Tianhai buried his head and kowtowed to Maitreya's golden body, shrugging his shoulders and bursting into tears.
Takeda Harunobu thought she was recalling Shiba Yoshigan and harboring Ginxie's feelings. In fact, Tenkai still had some feelings for the Ashikaga Shogun family in his heart.
She is the half-sister of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Her mother was killed by Odai, and she was sent to the Tendai Sect as a nun at an early age.
But even so, Oitai took great care of her because of her blood ties, allowing her to become the top disciple of the Tiantai Sect at a young age.
Nowadays, the Ashikaga shogunate's family has been revolted and exterminated, the Odaisho, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and Ashikaga Teru-kun all died tragically in Kyoto, and Amami is also feeling desolate.
Takeda Harunobu held the child with one hand and pulled up her collar with the other. Seeing her crying, the misunderstanding deepened and he snorted coldly.
"What a great Dao Gaoni, hahahahaha."
Tianhai was overcome by her, fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Then he calmed down, wiped away the tears, and said with a pale face.
"His Majesty Takeda came here today and humiliated me in every possible way, but he wanted my life?
If so, please take it."
Takeda Harunobu smiled.
"Master Tianhai misunderstood. I just admire the authentic Buddhism in Tiantai and want to become a monk."
Tenkai and Kosaka Masanobu who were present were both shocked, and both looked at Takeda Harunobu, who had a solemn look on his face.
Kosaka Masanobu's mind was spinning, and a thought suddenly flashed across her mind. That's it! She finally understood what Takeda Harunobu wanted to do.
The Takeda family was already in chaos after losing the leadership of Takeda Harunobu.
Although the retainers group wanted to invite the governor to serve as director, the baby Reina Takeda was a deadlock between them.
This child was the seed of Takeda Harunobu’s rape of Shiba Yoshigan in Yantian Castle, although Takeda Harunobu claimed that she was a baby girl she found by chance on the roadside and adopted.
But anyone with any brains would believe this statement?
The Takeda retainers group cannot accept this child. This is a time bomb. The day someone else finds out what Takeda Harunobu did to Shiba Yoshigan, the sky will fall!
But Takeda Harunobu, who has always been wise, insisted on this matter and never compromised.
The Takeda family is now in a mess. Takeda Nobuyan is not capable enough to meet the expectations of the retainers. The retainers urgently need Takeda Harunobu to take charge of the affairs.
Takeda Harunobu's entry into Taoism and monkhood was like a stud on the gambling table.
She became a monk directly without getting married, and Reina Takeda's child will be her only bloodline.
Regardless of whether she is a real biological daughter or an adopted daughter who is shown to outsiders, this child is Takeda Harunobu's recognized heir and heir.
If the Takeda retainers group does not approve, then Takeda Harunobu will retire and let the incompetent Takeda Noburen continue to play with the Takeda family.
I, Takeda Harunobu, flipped the table and stopped playing!
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Kosaka Masanobu looked at Rena Takeda in Takeda Harunobu's arms with complicated eyes. Takeda Harunobu was actually willing to give up the power he had worked hard for for many years for this child.
My lord, do you love him that much? Are you willing to take risks for you and his children?
Kosaka Masanobu suddenly realized that he might be Takeda Harunobu's favorite woman, but he might not be his favorite person. Because there was a man who Takeda Harunobu didn't say anything about, but was willing to go crazy for.
The tip of her tongue was bitter, because she also had a secret hidden in her heart. She also really liked that young man, that magnificent Odaisho. However, she could never tell it.
Takeda Harunobu stared at Tianhai, but he didn't know that the confidence of Kosaka Masaru beside him was overwhelming, and he had mixed emotions.
Tianhai was also stunned by Takeda Harunobu's words. He had no idea what she meant when she mentioned Shiba Yoshigan one moment and wanted to become a monk the next.
But when she came to Kai Country from Mount Hiei, she came to the Tendai Sect to win over the Takeda family governor and gain greater influence.
Tianhai put his hands together and said.
"His Majesty Takeda is willing to convert to our sect, so of course our sect welcomes you to join Taoism.
It's just the Danizheng you want..."
The biggest reason why Tenkai stayed in Kai Country for two years was that Takeda Harunobu could not come to an agreement with the Tendai Sect, and the great name of the samurai family had a bit of a big appetite.
She entered the Tiantai Sect and actually wanted to be a nun.
At the beginning, we only talked about becoming a layman and not becoming a monk. Now that we have become a monk, the matter of nuns and nuns must be put on the table and made clear.
Since the establishment of the nun system by the Emperor's court, although it has undergone several changes since its development, the core status of the three and nine levels has not been shaken.
The Tentai Sect is the head of the third and ninth ranks. The Tendai Sect is close to the shogunate and is the head of the sect in the world today. Takeda Harunobu wants to win the position of the Great Nisho. There is no way to talk about it.
For this reason, the two sides were in a stalemate for two years, and Tianhai had to endure hardships in the Kai Mountains, waiting for a turn of events.
Takeda Harunobu looked at the infant Rena Takeda, smiled and said.
"We will discuss the matter of Ni Zheng later. The Tiantai Sect will not be stingy about Ni Zheng's position, right?"
Tianhai said solemnly.
"With your dignity, you must be Ni Zheng."
The Tiantai Sect doesn't care about the position of nunzheng, it's just an honor and reputation anyway. As long as it doesn't involve the dazzling first position of nunzheng, they are willing to give it.
Takeda Harunobu smiled.
"Then please ask Master Tianhai to arrange a ceremony for me to become a monk."
Master Tianhai hesitated and reminded.
"Your Highness Takeda, our Tiantai Sect is not as obsolete in its precepts as the Jodo Shin Sect. Have you considered this carefully?"
Originally, the Tendai Sect and Takeda Harunobu were talking about becoming a Taoist priest, similar to the approach of Shiba Yoshigan and the Shingon Sect. There is a Dharma name but no name. Practicing at home, eating meat, drinking, and having sex will not affect it.
But if you officially become a monk, you must abide by the rules and precepts, at least on the surface. You can pretend not to see the food and wine passing through your intestines, but getting married is definitely not allowed.
As Tianhai said, the Tiantai Sect is not as wild as the Yixiang Sect. It is too evil to marry and have a daughter to inherit the sect and follow Japanese localization methods.
The Tiantai sect is a very traditional Buddhist sect and cannot get married. Takeda Harunobu is unmarried, so she must consider carefully before becoming a monk.
As Tianhai said, he carefully glanced at Rena Takeda in Takeda Harunobu's arms. She was not stupid either.
And what Takeda Harunobu wants is not to get married. She looked meaningfully at Amami, who was shrinking and peeking at the child, and said.
"Of course I have figured out that I want to convert to Buddhism. Just go ahead and do it. If you need to pay for it, just make a list and I will have someone buy it for you."
Tian Hai joins his hands in a salute.
"The name, is it the one you chose before? Shingen?"
Takeda Harunobu said casually.
"Just use that one. From now on, I will be Takeda Harunobu and Shindo Shingen."
She looked at the golden body of Maitreya in the hall, her pupils were out of focus, as if she could not see anything, but what appeared in front of her eyes was Sipo Yiyin's face, murmuring and repeating.
"Takeda Shingen..."
———
Yuanjiang Country.
After Matsudaira Motoyasu took over the Tokaido territory, he recognized his ancestors and claimed to be a descendant of the Nitta-ryu clan of the Kawachi Gen clan, changing his Miao name to Tokugawa.
In order to stabilize the new territory, she moved her residence from Okazaki Castle in Nishi Mikawa to Hima Castle in the middle of Toe River and changed its name to Hamamatsu Castle.
At this time, in Hamamatsu Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu was reading a letter. This letter came unexpectedly. It was the sword-controlling edict of Yoshigan Shiba, the current imperial office.
In the room, Honda Tadakatsu was so bored that he yawned and winked at the girl Hattori Masashige who was kneeling below him.
Hattori Masashige sat behind his mother, Hattori Bouchou, and the two ninjas sat at attention, respectfully waiting for their master's instructions.
Honda Tadakatsu, who was making mischief next to him, suddenly felt that he was quite bored. Although Hattori Masashige was young, the faces of these ninjas always had a respectful demeanor, as cold as tools.
Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at the letter, but seemed to see Honda Tadakatsu's restless movements, and warned.
"If you can't sit still, get out of here. Now you are also a general, why can't you even sit upright?"
Honda Tadakatsu pouted and sat down obediently.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu was no longer as good as the empty-shell governor who had just been released from the Imagawa family.
In the past three years, she brought peace to Dong Mikawa and captured Yuanjiang Kingdom, completely convincing the stubborn Mikawa Princess warriors. As stubborn as Honda Tadakatsu, he had to be obedient in front of her and not dare to disobey.
Although Honda Tadakatsu no longer moved, her big eyes were wandering around, showing her restless heart.
Her height is only 143 centimeters, which is 150 centimeters shorter than an average man, not to mention that Ji Samurai is generally taller than 160 centimeters.
His forehead is broad, his chin is round, his big eyes seem to take up most of his face, and his face is like that of a child, with teeth that look harmless to humans and animals.
Unlike Terutora Uesugi's miniature version of the sister, she has a real childlike appearance. Although she is getting older, she still looks like a child's baby face.
But he is such a little kid, but he is the most powerful warrior in the Tokugawa family. He is accustomed to wielding a slender gun more than six meters long. Every time he goes into battle, he is always at the forefront, and he has never been injured in beheading generals and capturing flags.
Tokugawa Ieyasu also had great trust in this childlike general. He promoted her to serve as the Tokugawa family's flag chief, commanding the elite Hime warriors.
Tokugawa Ieyasu read the letter, thought for a moment, and then turned to look at Honda Tadakatsu.
"It's rare to see you take the initiative to see and say hello. Why don't you go out of the city to run wild today?"
Honda Tadakatsu smiled and said.
"What Your Highness said, I am loyal to you. Isn't it right to come to pay your respects?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu sneered and shouted.
"Tell the important point!"
"Hi!"
Honda Tadakatsu bowed and stood up, saying helplessly.
"Lord Honda wrote to me many times, talking about the current situation in Mikawa. Let me cry to you a few times, so that the Honda family will not be wronged."
Tokugawa Ieyasu's forehead twitched. The most important thing she liked about Honda Tadakatsu was loyalty.
I don't know if I'm too stupid or too smart to say this kind of family secret in front of myself.
Tokugawa Ieyasu asked calmly.
"Aren't you going to say a few words to the Honda clan?"
Honda Tadakatsu shrugged and said.
"I don't want to worry about them. They are too full to eat.
When we were working hard together in Xisanhe, we didn't see them having so much energy to fight among themselves.
Sure enough, I was still too full."
Honda Tadashi has a good chance of winning, and he is a member of the Honda tribe. But the problem is that the Miao character "Honda" has spread in Nishi Mikawa. The Hime samurai who got out of Honda village all have the Miao character "Honda".
Honda Masanobu, Honda Tadakatsu, Honda Tadakatsu, it is difficult for them to clearly explain the relationship between their branches, so each family is not close.
But Honda Tadakatsu was unlucky. Not only did she get involved with Tokugawa Ieyasu and become a close confidant, but her family was theoretically the clan of the Honda clan.
In this medieval era, as a general leader of a clan, if something happens to a member of the clan, Honda Tadakatsu will definitely come forward to support him, and he will not be able to hide away.
Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed. As the family business grew bigger, internal conflicts became more intense. Each family had its own agenda, and everyone wanted to get more out of their own bowl.
